Thats also not a fair comparo since that wasnt so long ago compared to slavery. If someone would have mentioned that 60 years slavery was abolished, they would have been hung themselves.

Well, I think reparations concerning slavery are a joke.  My family never owned slaves (as a majority of most white American families) and quite to the contrary ran part of the Underground Railroad in New Hampshire to help get runaway slaves into Canada.  

What about the families who lost relatives fighting in the Civil War for the Union?  Didn\'t they pay the ultimate price?  All reparations will do is cause a further divide between the races here in the US.

thats why Im in the all or none boat. If the blacks get it, the natives should get it as well as relatives of civil war casualties. We all know the gov. isnt gonna shell all of that money out, so I guess none should get it.

I really dont know anyone that I could consider "great" in our time.  What made  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. great was the fact that he had his hierarchy of needs backwards to most everyone else.  IE, if he and another man were starving and MLK had a loaf of bread, he would have to give it to the other starving man before he cold eat it himself.  Putting others before you makes you great.  Not being able to give a great speach.  That just makes you full of shit.
